    Plant Genes Controlling Development of Two Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Endosymbiotic Systems

    Screening of different mutant traits with respect to nodule structure and function has shown that three of 20 legume plant symbiotic genes should be treated as crucial ones for the determination of the fate of...

    In Situ Expression of the R. meliloti C4-Dicarboxylate Transport Gene (DctA) During Symbiosis

    C4-dicarboxylic acids (dCA) are the only source of carbon partitioned to the bacteroids in sufficient amounts to sustain symbiotic N2-fixation. Accordingly efficient expression of the R. meliloti dctA gene, codin...

    Poly-β-Hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Accumulation in Rhizobium Meliloti Affected in the Dicarboxylate Transport (DCT) Genes

    A study was carried out to investigate a possible involvement of dicarboxylate transport in the accumulation of PHA by R. meliloti. Mutants derived from the wild-type CM2 were used, which are affected in dicarbox...

    The Development and Exploitation of ‘Marker Genes’ Suitable for Risk Evaluation Studies on the Release of Genetically Engineered Microorganisms in Soil

    A number of gene which can be used as convenient and reliable ‘marker genes’ in Rhizobium and Pseudomonas spp. has been studied. The availability of cloned lacZ and cya genes from R. meliloti in conjunction wi...

    Molecular Biology of Genes Involved in Carbon Metabolism in Rhizobium Meliloti and Bradyrhizobium Japonicum

    The important role played by TCA cycle intermediates in symbiotic nitrogen fixation has been highlighted by both biochemical and genetic data (1–6). Therefore in the context of maximizing or improving symbioti...
